Giants Reach Agreement In Principle With John Harbaugh To Be Head Coach

A near-$100 million, five-year contract is being finalized following an aggressive, multi-team pursuit.

Overview

  • The pact is expected to be five years and nearly $100 million, with paperwork and final details being completed.
  • Todd Monken is viewed as a likely offensive coordinator hire, and Anthony Weaver is a defensive coordinator target as he weighs head-coach interviews and the Dolphins’ ability to retain him.
  • Harbaugh vetted the organization by calling positional coaches from Brian Daboll’s staff, speaking daily with GM Joe Schoen, and even consulting Eli Manning before committing.
  • New York outpaced the Falcons, Titans and Dolphins, flew Harbaugh in on Steve Tisch’s jet, and saw him cancel a planned Titans meeting as both sides now compile assistant interview lists.
  • Immediate priorities include advancing Jaxson Dart’s development, reinforcing the receiving corps, offensive line and secondary, and clarifying decision-making authority with Schoen as draft and free-agency plans take shape.
